the "story" type does not mean it has to be Canon. It means its a story of some kind. Some of them are storyverse stories, some of them are borderline, some of them quite obviously aren't, much like this one, and the poem posted above.

The confusion came in when people started getting stricter about it, but originally there was no rule saying every story has to be Canon for the storyverse. There is also only one story post type, so you have to use some common sense in it.
